Mower Tuning

Skoda Hard Tuning

Skoda Light Tuning

Skoda Superb Taxi

2003 Ferrari Enzo

1994 Dodge Ram

Also, I'd like to point out that the "Latest Files" section of our right-hand navigation bar is now linked with pafileDB, so the 10 latest files uploaded will always appear there. It used to be linked to edgefiles, which we no longer use, so it was a needed change. Big thanks to How3tt for the code and Shawn for getting it to show up in the bar! :D

The good folks at Rockstar have sent us the eight screenshots that have appeared on IGN's article on some of the new characters, featuring Jane Hopper, JD O'Toole, McAffrey, Kazuki, Vincenzo, Sindacco and of course, Toni.

This is an awesome weapon pack that replaces the Desert Eagle, silenced pistol, Spas-12, Tec-9, Micro uzi, MP5, Ak-47, sniper, and country rifle with a Vp70M, Mac-11 silenced, new Spas-12, Auto9, Mac-11 SWD, FnP90, new Ak-47, G3sg1, and G3sg1 combat version, respectively. It also comes with a new skin for Carl that includes a mohawk, leather jacket, and hockey mask.

Also, I'd just like to point out that I've edited pafileDB's system a little bit. I made it so that I can upload up to four images per download (I could make it higher, but I think that four is enough). The images show up as thumbnails on the download page, and you can click any thumbnail to make the larger image pop up in a new screen. This gives visitors more views of the mod, which is what most people want. Big thanks to brokenfish for helping me out with the MySQL databases, couldn't have done it without him :D

Excellent and well-known modder Commando Funebrero from GTAIII and Vice City is back, and he's working his magic on the weapons of San Andreas. The mod to the left is an updated version of the Jarra Mono Arsenal (for this version, 1.2, a bug with the SMG while crouching has been fixed and a new minigun has been added). To the right is his brand new Modern Weapons Pack Volume 1 with modern weapon replacements for the Colt .45, Desert Eagle, Micro Uzi, MP5, silenced pistol, sniper, and Tec-9. They're both worth checking out!

Opie and Anthony (hosts of the satellite radio program 'The Opie and Anthony Show', for those of you who are living under a rock) are auctioning off a bunch of cool things to help support the American Red Cross/Hurricane relief.

One of their items caught my eye; the GTA3 pack, which includes R* Games/San Andreas stickers, a Radio Lazlow shirt and hat, and a copy of Grand Theft Auto 3 for the PC, which is autographed by Michael Rapaport (Voice of Joey Leone) & Lazlow (Host of Chatterbox, V-Rock and Entertaining America). Pretty neat stuff!

Today, Take2Games announced that they will be publishing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for the Xbox and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition for the PlayStation 2 on October 18th. The trilogy will obviously include GTAIII, Vice City, and San Andreas - all for the Xbox. This is ideal for gamers new to the genre (which isn't a huge population anymore).

However, the San Andreas Special Edition will be a nice treat for PS2 owners that are interested in some bonus features. It probably won't be an ideal buy for current San Andreas owners, but it packs some goodies that may interest people.

In addition to losing the AO for Adults Only rating, the game will feature The Introduction, a featurette documenting events before the onset of GTA: San Andreas. The series of intertwining stories are told from the point of view of several of the game's characters, leading up to a drive-by shooting of Grove Street gang members.

Also on the Special Edition will be Sunday Driver, Rockstar's debut documentary film. The movie follows a low rider car club in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Compton. The movie was directed by Carol Strong, and it brings viewers into the world of The Majestics, a group that customizes cars in South Central. The film will also be released on UMD format for the PSP.

Both games will have an M rating and are scheduled to come out on October 18, 2005. Although the Rockstar Warehouse has not been updated with pre-order information, I'm sure we'll be seeing that very soon.

IGN has a new article up, giving details of the new weapons, and the combat system. Plus, lots of nice screens supporting the article, including our first look at real in-game shots with the HUD and map.
